PURPLE CHUCKS ROCK...

[kenthenoob]

they look blue to me, beatle D:

[beatle]

So bye4now - which is it.??...LOL

[bye4now12]

Sorry beatle, they're blue . They're my only pair, and I got them because I was john beluchse (Bluto, animal house) for Halloween last year.

I like the look of chucks but I don't think they really fit me or the way I wear jeans.

[beatle]

Blue Chucks Rock.....

..and they always fit - with any jeans

[bye4now12]

Yeah I like this color a lot more than black chucks, I always think emo rock band whenever I see black chucks, unless with black pants maybe.

[salaami]

chucks are the ultimate sneaker. know this.

[JohnnyRed]

I like PFs a lot more than chucks, especially since the last 10 years or so. My chucks fall apart pretty quick, but I've been wearing the same pair of PFs for like 7 years now with no problems

[concealed]

wearin dem thangs in shanghai right now. holla!

[bye4now12]

Nice. One thing I wish I was doing more in these is traveling. There's no public transportation here so I drive just about everywhere, so I don't get much walking in them.

[kenthenoob]

go get a free treadmill off craigslist

[MirrorLockUp]

I'm going to be in Shanghai as well starting in mid-February. I don't think I'll be walking any more than I typically do though. I might buy a bike though.

arboretums are win.

they like the dirt..most of the denim under that grime is fading to a lighter color (see pocket)

3-4 days a week in the outdoors....

there will be more pics to come..

fit as well, it's still changing a bit with every wash (machine...and tumble dry).

fading and color contrast is beautiful.

i really like these jeans..

also the button is very shiny. wow. shiny things are also win.

[beatle]

I like that...............

[bye4now12]

Haha, I can see my mom coming in, me in a nike running shirt, my running shoes and a pair of 14.5oz denim jogging on a treadmil... rofl.

Fishboner, those are looking good, how often are you washing? I did my initial soak, and then another soak Sunday night and my denim got significantly lighter after the second soak.

[RobZ]

I'm putting these up for awhile. The combination of them not shrinking to the size I wanted, and getting them hemmed and tapered, they just fit weird. Maybe I'll switch back to these in a few months but who knows.

was hoping someone would ask:D

I've been trying some different things...clean jeans are happy jeans (fabric-wise), but dirty jeans just fucking look sexy...these definitely love the outdoors..

When the jeans get dirty (but not too smelly, muddy, or wet)

I generally just hang them and beat them a bit with some bamboo (like one would 'clean/dust' a rug or carpet).

When they get absolutely fucking filthy, it's inside out in the washer and a tumble dry

I gave them a couple of soaks in the beginning, and I've lost track of exact washes..

these will probably end up looking like a vintage pair of work jeans (given the punishment they take), and i can't wait.

[bye4now12]

Nice man, make sure to take a lot of progress pics too, find one place and hang them up once every couple of weeks and make a gif at the end, it looks really cool

[genius215]

We seem to be having a love/hate relationship lately; me and these jeans. Initally hated them for being little too big, hated them some more for the crotch blowing out then loved them after doing a hot wash and dry after two months. Anyways heres some pics.

i get some funny looks at the school gym for this...

[fre-co]

Jeez, people are ending up with cuffs worn through and holes forming in the back pockets already? What are you doing in these jeans?

[chantheman]

nice chicken. any washes yet? has it been 90 days already?

[mothys]

very nice... chicken

gotta love those button fades

[Chicken]

thanks guys.

my first day was oct 20. only one initial hot soak so far. they've stretched out a bit so i could probably use another soak or something soon.

i'm hoping the button fades will be fuller as i keep going with these. (as well as everywhere else.)

[Hero_]

Those look really good Chicken. The whiskers look perfect!

[MirrorLockUp]

I like seeing Chicken's jeans because they give me an idea about what mine will look like in a month. Or at least a goal to shoot for.

[datasupa]

my first day was oct 30.

so that would make it 80 days, not 90.

whew, for a second i thought i was neglecting my pair.....

[lilldavid]

Nice chicken! love the loong combs

Did a third soak (15 hours) buttons got interesting:

patch is really wrinkled:

fade is vertical:
